Edna million in a drop dead suit
dutch pink on a downtown train
two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
i'm in the corner in the pouring rain
16 men on a deadman's chest
and i've been drinking from a broken cup
2 pair of pants and a mohair vest
i'm full of bourbon; i can't stand up
Chorus:
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire; your children are alone
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire; your children are alone
Schiffer broke a bottle on morgan's head
and i've been stepping on the devil's tail
across the stripes of a full moon's head
through the bars of a cuban jail
bloody fingers on a purple knife
a flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
i'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
come admire the view from up onto of the mast
Chorus
Yellow sheets in a hong kong bed
stazybo horn and a slingerland ride
to the carnival is what she said
a hundred dollars makes it dark inside
Repeat first verse and chorus
